    Orient commentators basically saying it is pretty crap so far.
  • Only six subs. Are U21s playing today?

    Even a goalkeeper (Moore) doesn't make the team look and stronger!
    Worrying really!

    Obviously many things to be concerned about here, but one is why not throw Aribo, Djiksteel, Kennedy, and KAG on the bench given our shortage of numbers in midfield and up front? Are they THAT far off the first team? It's obviously not ideal, but it's what other teams do in pre-season. I sort of fear that Slade has already picked out the three youth players to work on (Hanlan, Umerah, Konsa), and has just discarded the rest.

    These Orient commentators are not really bothering to commentate much mind you.

    Orient miss a good header from Simpson, went over when he ought to have scored.

    It is looking more and more that our defence will be structured around Johnson.

    They estimate 800 in the ground.

    If the commentary is so lightweight, am guessing Rojo's dulcet tones can be heard , gently cajoling his team on....

    Phillips smothers a long shot (25 yards out) at the second attempt.

    I've suspect that'd be the case for a while now. Quintessential lower league center back.

    Vaguely sounds as if Leyton Orient are bossing this.

    Now that sounds familiar. Nick Pope, gone but not forgotten

    Crofts is out injured a day after he signs. You couldn't make this stuff up.

    Initiation ceremony.
    Remember at school giving the new kids a dead leg?
